00:00Venezuela has positioned itself among the backward countries in the struggle against

00:04fascism and its diverse expressions.

00:07And just this week, a new meeting called International Antifascist for a New World is taking place.

00:13Details in the following report.

00:15The revolutionary process promoted in Venezuela has once again become a benchmark in the fight

00:23against the various expressions of world fascism, and has called on many international political

00:28and social organizations to organize and join forces.

00:36Fascism is nothing more than a derivation.

00:38It is like an element that imperialism uses and capitalism uses to maintain its domination,

00:44to maintain its exploitation of the working men and women.

00:48So the anti-fascist struggle is also an anti-capitalist struggle.

00:52It is a struggle for the construction of socialism, which is the only way we know of to be able

01:04to extinguish, as Comrade Randa said, definitively both capitalism and its most violent expressions

01:11or those with the greatest terror in which it is expressed, which is fascism itself.

01:23One of the most representative fighters against capitalism was the revolutionary fighter Ernesto

01:28Che Guevara.

01:29And his daughter, the revolutionary Dr. Oleda Guevara, is worthy of inheriting Che's anti-fascist

01:35legacy.

01:38What fascism means, look at the examples.

01:41This is what we have lived.

01:42This is what you can live if you allow it.

01:44This is what you want, for example, to be left without housing, for example, to be left

01:49without culture, for example, to hand over everything you have to another state so that

01:54it can come and dominate you and crush you and try to disappear you as a people.

01:59That is what you want?

02:00Surely not.

02:01So what we have to do is to try to be like my father.

02:04It is easier to make you follow than not having to force.

02:07And that is very important.

02:09We have to demonstrate our truths, but in such a way that the young people understand

02:14them, understand them and join the struggle out of conviction.

02:17Not because we are forcing them, but because we have convinced them that a better world

02:22is possible.

02:29Within the analysis and reflection of the world geopolitical context, it was agreed

02:33that one of the ways in which fascism disguises itself is through governments elected under

02:39democratic mechanisms, but which act with authoritarian expressions that favor the

02:43interests of those who hold economic and political power.

02:50The government as such has made policies that go against the Salvadoran people, public policies

02:55that are not in accordance with what the population is asking for, as in the case of the high

02:59cost of living, as in the case of regulations to apparently raise taxes.

03:04There are even regulations that had to go back a little because of the popular voice.

03:17When there are demonstrations of social organizations, there are many checkpoints, and the population

03:24is detained, and they are doing all kinds of actions that do not facilitate conditions

03:29for people to demonstrate.

03:38Another of the manifestations of fascism as an expression of capitalism is the disregard

03:43of the cultural manifestations of the native peoples who struggle for their identity and

03:48dignity.

03:51We are fully supporting the worldwide struggle against fascism.

03:57We are the representation of the native peoples of Guatemala, and we are here supporting and

04:02making a worldwide network so that we are respected as native people.

04:12This concludes the first day held in Caracas to confront international fascism.
